Another amp I ran across. How would this one sound with my S55"s compared to the B&K and Parasound amps. If it's a good match, what's a good price on one?
I wish I knew more about all of the different amps and how they sound, but I don't so I have to depend on everyone here who have more experience than me with the different amps.

It's a good sounding amp. However I'd ask the guy selling it if there is any audible hiss coming from it threw the speakers. I think the earlier iterations of that amp had some problems.HT SYSTEM-

I don't know this amp, but I am an avid fan of the Anthem sound. I prefer Anthem over Parasound or B&K myself. But like I said, I know absolutely nothing about this amp, so can't recommend it.
I run an Anthem 225 integrated, fabulous piece of kit for the money. My next purchase will be the New STR series.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -
